Default 2g CRX front suspension overhaul pics (Dial-up *BEWARE*)

I finally came up with the cash for my 90' CRX SI fron suspension rebuild. The rolling chassis has 181,000 miles. Both upper a arm ball joints & lower ball joints were shot along with both wheel bearings. Wheel studs were also replaced along with the both tie rod ends. I also too the axles back to autozone and got another remanufactured set for free . I removed the spindels thursday and had a local shop press in the wheel bearings, lug studs, and lower ball joints on friday. I finished up last night (saturday) and took it for a spin. OH MAN what a difference night & day. It had a bad front end clunk. Its gone. Front end is much tighter and responds very well. I need to get an alignment now. It drives sooooo much better, Anyways heres some pics I snapped while doing it. Enjoy. HAPPY NEWYEAR Everyone

Around $600 for parts and spindle labor.

I have a 92 Integra with 168,000 miles on it. I want to replace the ball joints as well.

Looks good.

Thanks for the complement. A friend of mine has a 90-91 GS (4door). Great car and the front suspension is the same setup on both of our cars. He has Eibach pros on tokico blues & poly bushings. I have pros on Illuminas and polys. He's getting the lsvtec built. He is waiting on a backordered rod bearing (2 months ). BTW all OEM parts were used on my suspension overhaul.

*EDIT* I have a SPRINT extreme civic/crx camber kit 88-91 for sale. IM me.
